Games Like PlanckMan

PlanckMan - <i>The Retro game That Never Was</i>

If you go back in time to the 1980s, there was usually a trend where a popular game would be released and spinoffs from other companies would come along, attempting to provide a unique spin on that formula. Pong, had many clones. Pac-Man was duplicated so many times. Space Invaders.. had so many different iterations. But Snake? SNAKE?

The Basics of PlanckMan

Start as a block 10 units high, beginning on random position in a grid, while a random pellet spawns.

As you move (in the cardinal directions), each movement reduces your height by 1, but your previous placement is persistent.

Obtaining a red pellet resizes your height to 10. Your previous tail continues to diminish at a rate of 1 per movement until lost at 0, but the new tail resumes at 10.

Yellow pellets increase your multiplier, but also the length of your tail.

Do not hit your tail. Do not run out of tail.

Eat as many pellets as possible.

Get high score.

In the Steam Version

The steam version provides access to a myriad of further options to customise your gameplay experience.

The game has been developed to be as accessible as possible, for people requiring the use of other devices to play, or those with limitations. As such, the menus are navigable with both the tab button, but also the key bindings set in the customised controls section.
